Major events in the ending of World War 1?
The Russian Revolution led to a desire in Russia to withdraw from the Tsar's war. They negotiated the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk.

What grenades was used in Vietnam war?
US forces used the new smooth pineapple grenade (some called it lemon shaped) and the new baseball grenade came out in about 1969. The 40mm M79 grenade launcher was supplemented by the M-203 over & under (M16 rifle on top/grenade launcher underneath) in about 1970. The M-203 had a bad habit of dropping the 40mm cartridge out of it when loading, because in order to load it you had tilt the muzzle down, when you raised it muzzle level, or muzzle up, in order to slide the grenade's barrel closed; then gravity caused the 40mm shell to back out of the breech (it fell out). It took awhile to get used to. The M79 was simply an over-grown break open single barrel shotgun (40mm).
Enemy grenades were universally called CHICOMS (Chinese Communists) and consisted of a black cast iron cylinder shaped warhead mounted upon a 4 or 5 inch wooden hollow tube shaped handle. You un-screwed a cap at the base of the wooden handle, a white string with a metal ring attached to the end of it dropped out, when you pulled the ring there was a popping noise, smoke began it emit from the wooden handle, and you threw it. Smoke fizzled from it as it tumbled thru the air towards it's target. US grenades did not smoke.

Why was franz Ferdinand assasinated?
Presumably, this question is asking about Archduke Franz Ferdinand, heir to the throne of the Empire of Austria-Hungary, who was assassinated in 1914.
He was assassinated by a Serbian nationalist, Gavrilo Princip, who was essentially hoping to provoke strife in the Empire and enable the Serbs in the Empire to secede to Serbia. This is a simplification, and in any case the topic is debated. However, this is the essential element of the most widely held view of whyArchduke Franz was assassinated. This assassination led directly to the beginning of the First World War.
